Shrek 2 takes off where the first movie ended: Shrek and Fiona are beginning a new life together. Naturally this means that Shrek has to meet his in-laws. In addition to the usual discomforts in such a situation there are people who desperately want to see Shrek and Fiona split up. This "happily ever after" couple, along with friends new and old, have to face their first test of love in the hilarious, irreverent way we've come to know and love.
This creators of this sequel were brilliant. They didn't try to recreate the first movie at all. Instead they took the story and characters to the next natural step. In doing so they were able to bring in a lot of characters, settings, and scenarios that simply wouldn't have fit in the first film. What is great is that even with a very different story the sequel still has the same humor, pacing, and fun that made Shrek such a success. The story kept me interested and laughing throughout. I left feeling extremely satisfied and thoroughly amused. Rating: 5/5

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
